The municipal councilor Urbano di Pierro accompanied them: “We were stopped for 12 hours at the border – he reported – the refugees had bureaucratic problems, then there was also a lot of traffic”. For five days (the time of quarantine) they will be hosted in the former San Domenico convent, then whoever can join relatives and friends in Italy. Di Pierro also says that the Ukrainians “arrive at the border on buses that leave them two kilometers away”, therefore “they had to walk the road: women with strollers and elderly people on crutches”. “They are all divided families – he continues – I have seen children who encouraged their mothers because the latter now have their eyes destroyed; they are very tired, they come from days and days of war”. Urbano Di Pierro also says that “it is a human line that never ends; we discovered that the supermarkets have been used as dormitories: there are people sleeping everywhere, I could not hold back the tears”.
